'A foul odor'
When police responded to the apartment, the home's landlord opened the door for police, according to the report. As soon as it was opened police said they "immediately smelled a foul odor."
Inside the home, police wrote, officers found Torres in a bedroom sitting on the bed.
"Torres responded by saying 'hello' but stayed sitting on her bed," the report reads.
Officers then discovered a "badly" decomposing body in a second bedroom.
